Powders allow you to vary your dosage very easily. You can
take as little or much as you personally require this way. For example, some of
our clients use a baby scoop of powder a day which is about 30 – 40 billion CFU.
Others take up to 4 adult scoops a day, that’s about 1.2 Trillion CFU a day! That
would be about 15 capsules!

So if you want to take a high amount of CFU, we would
suggest trying the powders. They also cost less per CFU compared to the
capsules.
